The Japanese try to outdo the west in all things, and it usually works out well. We make factories, they make them more efficient and effective. We make electronics, they make them smaller and more elegant. We make cars, they make them better looking and more reliable.

But I wish they wouldn't apply the same philosophy to our more embarrassing cultural traits. We didn't need our big ugly chrome-covered land yachts taken to the next level.

I've been happily digging through your archives this afternoon and finding nuggets like these trucks I had never heard of. Thanks as always! The next time I'm in Wildwood New Jersey I'll try to snap some pictures of the old arcade games which must have the same DNA.
